How it works:
A one-to-one opportunity
Sandra [A. Daley-Sharif]’s insight and advice guided me as I completed my latest play. Anyone who is lucky enough to be a member of her playwright’s group is a better writer for it. She is truly invested in her writers. Her energy, talent, and devotion make her more than just a dramaturg – she is a muse, teacher, friend, and standard-bearer for the artists she works with. I also had the added good fortune of having Ms. Daley-Sharif produce and direct two very successful readings of my play, The Silver Thread. I am so glad I found her!

Sandra A. Daley-Sharif offers a critical read of your play with written and verbal comments, questions, and exercises. She is "...not just a dramaturg, but an all-around theatre professional."
-
Sandra reads your play and gives written comments. More than structure, her comments speak to the emotional, the specifics, and the “why” of your play.
-
You absorb those comments and then talk with her via email, phone, or in person.
-
Rewrite your script, if you choose, incorporating those comments.
-
She reads your play again, with no written comments this time.
-
You and Sandra have a final conversation.
Together, you will work within an agreed-upon timeline for each step. The entire process, however, should be completed within three months of the date on which it began.
*Resumé available upon request.
